Th...I have to agree with all the previous comments. The first two covers were outstanding. I HATE it when the covers change and they don't look like a cohesive series anymore. It's such a shame because they outdid themselves with Lamentation and Canticle. I may be a bit anal about it, but i'll search high and low for books to complete a series - if I start with paper, i'll wait to buy the new books rather than have some of each (paper and hardback). Why don't they leave well enough alone!!!Andrewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711195880526876235.post-31682558659768182582010-04-10T04:39:12.782-04:002010-04-10T04:39:12.782-04:00I concur with Patrick and Anon; these new covers a...I concur with Patrick and Anon; these new covers are inferior. I especially despise the cartoonish type. I hope Tor knows what it's doing, because it's so weird how almost all of these business decisions that are supposedly sprung from careful market research make no sense to me. So much so that phrases like "best for the long term success of a series" sound like excuses to placate angry fans. If the publishers are going to do something as significant as change a book's cover, the improvement should be so obvious and evident, it shouldn't require disclaimers.Ryehttp://withrye.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711195880526876235.post-35547481049087491592010-04-06T10:43:14.434-04:002010-04-06T10:43:14.434-04:00What did they do to these covers?
